Heathrow's new Terminator 2 has killed its first passengers, with the airport insisting it has learned lessons from the last two or three films.

The first flight, a United Airlines from Chicago, was shot down in flames at 05:49 BST. Passengers on the second of 34 United flights scheduled for Wednesday were scythed down at baggage reclaim by a Terminator disguised in a Beefeater costume.

The Terminator will be introduced in stages to avoid the chaos in 2009 when Terminator Salvation opened and audiences struggled to cope with the flimsy plot and lack of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
